Function Documentation

int chooseDevice	(	ostream &	mos,
		NNmodel *&	model,
		string	path
	)

Helper function that prepares data structures and detects the hardware properties to enable the code generation code that follows.

The main tasks in this function are the detection and characterization of the GPU device present (if any), choosing which GPU device to use, finding and appropriate block size, taking note of the major and minor version of the CUDA enabled device chosen for use, and populating the list of standard neuron models. The chosen device number is returned.

Main entry point for the generateALL executable that generates the code for GPU and CPU.

The main function is the entry point for the code generation engine. It prepares the system and then invokes generate_model_runner to inititate the different parts of actual code generation.

Parameters

mos	output stream for messages
model	the nn model we are generating code for
path	path the generated code will be deposited

void generate_model_runner	(	NNmodel &	model,
		string	path
	)

This function will call the necessary sub-functions to generate the code for simulating a model.

Parameters

model	Model description
path	Path where the generated code will be deposited

int main	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[]
	)

Parameters

argc	number of arguments; expected to be 2
argv	Arguments; expected to contain the target directory for code generation.
